Chapter 121: Long Talk
"No alcohol is allowed in the barracks, we are the two of us are the highest commanders, and you want to take the lead in violating the rules?" Jiang Beiming asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Don't say it so seriously, don't take it as an example. Let's talk to me, my heart is a little blocked. Xu Lang reached out and pulled Jiang Beiming up from the chair.
It was getting late, and two candles were lit in the regiment commander's office, and Jiang Beiming and Xu Lang sat opposite each other.
"The regiment commander and the chief of staff are in a meeting, I don't see anyone, I will talk about it tomorrow." The sentry at the gate blocked one person after another who came to see the regimental commander.
"I regret it a little, Beiming, I should have listened to Fan Qiuming and went back to find that wormhole."
"What the hell is going on in your heart?" Jiang Beiming didn't answer Xu Lang's words, "Are you homesick, or do you miss Miss Zhao?" ”
"Huh." Xu Lang laughed and drank a glass of himself, "If only that were the case, there is a mountain in my heart that overwhelms me." ”
"Mountain? What mountain? ”
"Beiming, do you think a person should be responsible?"
"Of course it should." Jiang Beiming was confused by Xu Lang, "Even if we were in our previous life, responsibility is the least that a person should do, to be small, to be responsible for oneself, to be responsible for one's family and relatives, to be responsible for one's family, to be responsible for one's family, to be responsible for the country, and to be responsible for the country." ”
"But I'm the one who doesn't want to be responsible." Xu Lang said silently, "I have always lived in contradictions, this was the case in my previous life, and it is like this now. ”
"What do you think is the contradiction?"
"I don't want to be responsible, but God has made me take on too many things that I can't bear." Xu Lang poured 2 glasses of wine for Jiang Beiming and himself, "There are some responsibilities that you can't choose, and you can't give up, to your parents and relatives." From the day you were born, you have their blood in your veins, and you have to take responsibility for them. Beiming, the most painful thing for a person is to watch your dearest people die little by little, but you are helpless. ”
"Miss your father again?" Xu Lang told Jiang Beiming about his previous life.
"yes, I miss him." Speaking of his father, tears suddenly welled up in Xu Lang's eyes, "In the past, no matter how big the things and difficulties I encountered, as long as my father was there, I wouldn't care, he was my spiritual pillar." But he left, and he just left me and left. ”
"And what are you contradicting now?" Jiang Beiming hurriedly diverted the topic, and if he continued to speak, Xu Lang had to cry again.
"It's still a responsibility." Xu Lang raised his head and drank another glass, "Actually, I know myself very well, I am an alternative." In a previous life, it was an alternative, and it is still an alternative. Maybe I'm really out of place in the world. ”
"You think too much, you study literature, you are too emotional." Jiang Beiming persuaded, "You are not an alternative, you are just too idealistic." ”
"It's also thanks to the fact that I studied literature, not philosophy." Xu Lang burst into tears and laughed, "If I had studied philosophy, maybe you wouldn't have seen me a long time ago." ”
"Xu Lang, in fact, how to say this, I have always wanted to have a good chat with you, but I have never had the opportunity to say it, since you have talked about this matter today, I will talk about my thoughts." Jiang Beiming picked up the wine glass and touched it with Xu Lang, and the two of them drank it all, "Whether it is now or in the future, a normal society needs people like you, a calm bystander, or rather, a bystander who only talks but doesn't do anything." Because only a bystander can see the essence of things most clearly, as long as you do things, you must coordinate all kinds of relationships and balance all kinds of interests, so it is impossible for a person who does things to maintain his own principles and stick to his beliefs, and he will inevitably be swayed by all kinds of things. But you, as you yourself say, you will always live in contradictions, on the one hand, you want to do things, you want to take on the responsibilities that you have to bear; On the other hand, you want to stick to your ideals, and that's the biggest contradiction. I know that you and Shi Xianyang have been angry about the court-martial's verdict on Maccheni, which is why I have not commented on this matter. ”
"yes." Xu Lang sighed, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, "I don't expect to be able to ascend to the sky in one step and build a fair society now, but if we can't be fair internally, how can we hope to lead the world in the future." But fairness and justice are as distant as the stars in the sky. Beiming, Mu Suide's words touched me too much that day, and it was simply impossible to peacefully change the status of the Chinese and to establish an equal and harmonious relationship in a foreign country by peaceful means. In this era, we can only use force, guns to change all this, but this is killing, it is killing without humanity. ”
"Xu Lang, you have to figure out a problem." Jiang Beiming said, "The current era is the era of the weak and the strong, and the law of the jungle is the most suitable for this era." ”
"I know, Beiming. I know that the law of the jungle is the best fit. But don't forget, we're from 400 years after all. If we are so willing to accept the law of the jungle, then, Beiming, you tell me, we are shouting all day long to change the Ming Dynasty and change this era, but in the end, we have changed this era, or have the times changed us? ”
"No one is changing anyone, they are all adapting to each other." Jiang Beiming said, "We don't have no achievements at all, at least in Yulin Bay, we still have achieved certain results." Let's just talk about the last time Ye Yan broke into someone's house, if this matter was placed in the Ming Dynasty, would the people dare to go to the yamen to make trouble, don't even think about it. Xu Lang, don't keep thinking about the shortcomings, and take a look at our progress. ”
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Xu Lang took another drink, "I really want to go back to Yulin Bay." ”
"Why, tell me why."
"Beiming, why did Cheng Yiyi and I come to Vietnam, I have such a big contradiction with the military, and I am now the chief of staff of the major, have you thought about this problem?"
"What else can be the reason, didn't we discuss this in the first place?" Jiang Beiming was very strange about Xu Lang's words, "The two of you are indeed capable, and this is recognized by the entire crossing conference." ”
"That's what I thought at the beginning, but we were all wrong." Xu Lang said, "It's April now, our new army has just been established, and there is at least half a year of training time, and in this half year, we people will be chained to Vietnam." But don't forget, in 3 months, the 4th re-election of the Crossing General Assembly will begin. Moreover, according to the regulations, it is impossible for people from the military to enter the committee, and it is impossible for Shi Xianyang and Liu Guannan to enter, and Sun Dalei, Cheng Yiyi and Xia Yang will definitely come down this time. Thinking about the consequences? ”
Jiang Beiming didn't answer, he really didn't think about the question that Xu Lang suddenly asked: "You mean that someone deliberately brought us to Vietnam?" Someone wants to control the committee? ”
"I don't know if there is anyone, but why did Zheng Jie know about it as soon as we landed in Vietnam, and we fought a solid battle?"
"You mean someone reported to Zheng Jie?" Jiang Beiming was even more surprised.
"I don't know." Xu Lang replied, "But I can tell you a piece of news, Jiang is still old and spicy, can't you not admire it." ”
"What kind of mess is this, what kind of news is this?"
"Huh." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Before we came to Vietnam, Mr. Lu came to me alone, and he was going to come out to run for chairman of the committee this time." ”
"Really?" Jiang Beiming was surprised, "The old man is finally going out of the mountain?" ”
"So I want to go back to Yulin Bay and help Lu Lao run for election this time."
"Then you don't have to go back." Jiang Beiming finally drank a glass of wine with confidence, "The veteran is out of the horse, a top two." Lu Lao is out of the mountain, who will compete? Put your heart in your belly. ”
"Beiming, do you know Wang Hua's Second General Affairs Office?" Xu Lang suddenly asked without a head.
"General Affairs Division II? I don't know. Jiang Beiming replied, "What happened to the Second General Affairs Department?" Generally, the general affairs office in the school is engaged in logistics or something, and you have been a teacher, you should know it. ”
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Xu Lang pondered for a while, "After Ye Zhan returned to Vietnam, he talked to me about this Second General Affairs Office. According to Ye Zhan's description, the people of the Second General Affairs Department were often sent out, and no one knew what they were doing, and the key was that no one could command these people, except for Wang Hua and He Jiong. ”
"He Jiong? Who is He Jiong? Jiang Beiming couldn't remember who this person was.
"The director of the political department of the military academy, but I think his true identity is probably not so simple." Xu Lang talked about his analysis, "I feel that this Second General Affairs Department is a bit like a secret agency, of course, it doesn't matter if it's targeting Manchurians or other people, but I'm worried about whether it will target my own people." ”
"Do you suspect Wang Hua?"
"No, no, don't get me wrong." Xu Lang hurriedly explained, "Wang Hua can't have such an idea, and he doesn't dare to do it himself." On the contrary, I am more worried that this is a collective resolution, and if this is a decision of two committees, or even a few people, and we use this kind of secret service on our own people, then we will really fail completely. ”
"You don't have to worry, Xu Lang." Jiang Beiming raised his wine glass and said solemnly, "First of all, let me make it clear to you, I really don't know anything about the Second General Affairs Department, and this is not a collective decision of the Military Commission. The Military Commission and the Committee only authorized Wang Hua to set up a secret service to do some intelligence work against the Manchus, but Wang Hua was responsible for what to do. However, our resolution is that this secret service must not be used against its own people. Xu Lang, I am different from you, I am a pragmatist, as long as it is beneficial to the crossing group, as long as it is beneficial to my Chinese nation, I will do it. But I also have my bottom line and my principles, if someone really dares to use this kind of thing on their own people, if someone really wants to damage the interests of the crossing group, I, Jiang Beiming, will be the first to refuse. ”
"Beiming, do you know what I admire most about you?" Xu Lang also picked up his wine glass and touched it with Jiang Beiming, "You are not only honest and responsible, but you also live the most chic life." ”
"Chic?" Jiang Beiming poured the wine in the cup into his mouth and said with a smile: "Do I have you who are very talented, you dare to despise all the etiquette in the world, and you dare to leave the crossing group for your own beliefs." ”
"Don't you mention the old yellow calendar?" Xu Lang also smiled, "I'll just say, if I really leave the Crossing Group, I will starve to death." My chic is different from you, I was born in the wrong era, and I have passed through the wrong era, I should go back to the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Wei and Jin dynasties are the things that suit me. ”
The two of them drank until midnight. The next day, Zhou Lei, Xu Tianbin and others almost smashed open the door of the office and broke in, because it was all three poles, and there were still bursts of snoring in the office, and Zhou Lei and others once wondered if the regiment commander and chief of staff had been drugged.
The office door finally opened, and Xu Lang walked out full of alcohol.
"Chief of Staff, you 。。。。。。" Zhou Lei and Xu Tianbin pointed at Xu Lang, but it was hard to say.
"Work needs, work needs." Xu Lang put his index finger on his mouth and made a non-speaking motion, "If you have something to do, go in and find the head of the regiment, he's inside." ”
"Chief of Staff, where are you going, we still have something to tell you." Zhou Lei and Xu Tianbin shouted from behind.
"Both, spare me, spare me." Xu Lang clasped his hands together, "I'll go to sleep first, and we'll talk about something in the afternoon." ”
After Liu Jun arrived in Qiongzhou to take over Sun Tianhao's work, there were basically no major changes, and everything was going on step by step. The production of the sugar factory is gradually expanding, Mourinho inspected the sugar factory during the Spring Festival, and suddenly placed an order of 20,000 quintals, plus Sun Tianhao's original promise of 30,000 quintals of Silveira, the sugar factory's orders this year alone reached 50,000 quintals.
Ho Man-tung's point in Macau has been set up, and it is hung with the sign of the Yulin Bay Sugar Mill sales office. Liu Jun had a new exchange with He Wendong, and in addition to the normal expenses of the sales office, he gave He Wendong 10 taels of silver every month for the activity funds. He Wendong was responsible for recruiting all the intelligence personnel, and he was directly responsible for Liu Jun.
